Another finish

Santa is all stitched. 

I plan on finishing the two Prairie Schooler Santas as pillows after Thanksgiving. 

I am making headway on the Woodland Babies birth announcement now. I’m working on the leaves of the tree. 

All of the blocks for the second I-Spy quilt have been trimmed and pressed. I laid them out on a bed and then gathered together the twelve rows of 10 blocks. 

I have 9 of those rows assembled now. 

Only 3 more to go and then I have to cut the cornerstones for the sashing rows. 

I’ve been in a baking mood lately. I made cranberry orange breads from my Better Homes and Garden New Cook book. You can find the recipe here. I also made Taste of Home pumpkin scones with cranberry butter. All were delicious. I forgot to take photos. 

I’m back in Physical Therapy again. I made the mistake of wearing a shoe with a slight heel when I went outlet shopping several weeks ago and my right hip has been bothering me ever since. I thought it was bursitis, but the orthopedist says it’s sciatica. I have a pain med and physical therapy. It’s interfering with my daily walk and sleeping mostly. Otherwise I’m doing okay. It doesn't interfere with my crafting. LOL

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Take some time to have a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate and pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are up to.

Thanks for stopping by!
